FTM2012 vs AMT - Stories

QUESTION

What are the differences between the Family Tree Maker and Ancestry.com trees when using TreeSync™?

ANSWER

Stories

A story created on Ancestry.com will become a .htm file in Family
Tree Maker, which can be viewed in a Web browser. You can edit the text
in a word-processing program.

Smart Stories created in Family Tree Maker will become .rtf text
files in Ancestry. The story can’t be viewed within your Ancestry tree
but the document can be downloaded. (Smart Stories are uploaded only if
they are attached to individuals.)
